July 1999

For 35 years, Bobby Frank Cherry has been an FBI suspect in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four girls, and his alibi has gone unchallenged. The 69-year-old retired truck driver maintains he was home the night the bomb was planted because he was watching wrestling on TV — and shares a sworn affidavit to prove it.

There’s at least one problem with that alibi. There was no televised wrestling for Cherry to watch.
